Robin Hood Rally
Good news.... It looks like we have been accepted! Per Olaf and I will be teaming up to run the Robin Hood Rally... a Reality TV show to be released this fall on NBC. This should be a trip...

Power to weight ratio-wise... that Mini might be the David to bring down Goliath. Wink We have some surprises planned. Stay tuned... heh heh heh...

Understeer is when you hit the mountain with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the mountain with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the mountain, torque is how far you move the mountain.

We have some surprises in store for them... the rules allow substitution of drivers... and cars. Hmmmmmmmmm....

It is really going to be hard to keep my mouth shut about what happens until each episode airs.... but I signed a contract. Have to keep my word. They are allowing me to take pictures and write articles each day to be released on THE SOUTHERN DRIVER each day after THAT episode is aired on TV. Should be fun...

We leave mid April for testing and dyno comparative testing at Pocono Raceway in PA. That will establish the factors for weight to power to level cars playing field. First event in May in New Hampshire... and I think I already figured out where it will be held. Wink

Muhahahahahaha.... look forward to telling all when I can.

I don;t think it's NHMS... they say roads and 6-8 miles runs. I'm thinking more Mt. Washington.
